Photos: Gunman kills four at Jewish school in France

TOULOUSE, France—A motorcycle assailant opened fire with two handguns Monday in front of a Jewish school in the French city of Toulouse, killing a rabbi, his two young sons and a schoolgirl. One witness described him as a man chasing small children and “looking to kill.” One of the guns he used also been fired in two other deadly motorcycle attacks in the area, officials said. Authorities immediately increased security at schools and synagogues around the country. The attack revolted France, where school shootings and deadly attacks on Jews are extremely rare, and drew strong condemnation from Israel and the United States. It was the third motorcycle-based slaying in the area in a week.
